Model offers predictions to guide empirical research on music’s emotional impact. This constructionist perspective provides ways to focus music and emotion research, supporting both applied directions & more personalised explanations of these experiences 4/5

I made a 1-minute YouTube video of how to create an index to a book with keywords, page proofs and python scripting. youtu.be/E50CeDgoBIA #musicscience #book #WorkSmart

Dr Schutz during his keynote at the Society for Music Perception and Cognition conference in Banff. He discussed several of our projects, as well as ongoing collaborations with @DrJazz615, @tuomas_ee! @socmusicperccog @musicandthemind @mcmasterhum
Perks of music science: phenomenal keynotes are accompanied with expert musical performances. Still recovering from #SMPC2024 and @michaelschutz ‘s inspiring keynote!

📢 New paper in Memory & Cognition!📢 Musical pieces that have incongruent emotion cues (mode & timbre) are better remembered than congruent ones; consistent with desirable difficulty. Nice collab with Andrea Halpern from Bucknell University rdcu.be/dPRDn #musicscience

A really important talk on the importance of sharing data and analysis scripts in #musicscience. More needs to be done and faster advancements in the field will follow. @tuomas_ee @ #escom12

Final #escom12 keynote given by Bruno Mesz who took us on a whirlwind tour of #crossmodal interactions with music. So many mappings (#smell, #shape, #colour, #taste) make sense with music but the level of explanation is not always easy to define #musicscience

Wonderful big data take on tempo and age by @Geoff_Luck & Alessandro Ansani that show a hockey stick function of performed tempo across age that matches the changes in spontaneous motor tempo across life-span #musicscience #escom12

Engaging summary of chills while performing music by @s_bannister2113 & Emily Payne at #escom12: They highlight the many ways performers occasionally experience chills (feeling accomplishment, immersion, connecting with audience, togetherness,..). What a great topic #musicscience
